Looks to be in good shape.  Sellers shipping price of $10 is utterly preposterous, but if you subtract it from your bid you should be okay.




It's a good thing I am not a "gotta have everything" uber-collector.  Wouldnt mind having one of these but quite frankly the prices on these are getting downright insane.  If I am not mistaken the last two of these sold for around $100.  And I believe a couple of months before there were two that sold for around $60 - $70.



Why does Boot Hill go for ungodly amounts and similar items like Bio-One, DGUTS, Tricolor, etc. go for so much less?

Because as soon as anything is posted as "interesting" on the site it suddenly becomes a "must have" and the price goes wild   8O

That price is sheer insanity.  This is the kind of item that may fluctuate given certain bidders being interested at certain times. The next copy may go for under $100, or $200.  They actually seem to pop up fairly frequently....

I would imagine Boot Hill is in greater demand because more people are familiar with it.  When I was a kid many of the people I knew who were hooked on D&D also dabbled with Star Frontiers, Gammaworld, Indiana Jones and Boot Hill.  Gammaworld and Boot Hill were of interest primarily due to the conversion charts in the DMG (I'm sure I'm not the only one who fantasized about what my character could do with a suit of powered armor).  I don't recally any of my friends being interested in, or even knowing, that TSR did anything other than RPGs.

Really cheap boxed sets, appear to be incomplete, though.

I look at that spiral bound and almost put it in the same league as that book a while back which was recovered with the dog fur.

The "Good" game factor is involved. Boot Hill is a blast. Anyone who has ever played - especially the giant saloon bar room brawls that encompass the entire town - know what I mean. I make a point of finding BH events at Gen Con - always with miniatures. They are fast and fun events.



So I think the fact that it is simply a great game and many people probably have great memories of playing, factor into the price.


And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

At least you can wipe yourself with the fur-covered book.  I'm not so sure about the spiral-bound one...


Let mirth prevail!

Does anyone know how the magazines are bound into the binder?  To me binder means that the magazines are whole punched.  But when I bought my lot of Strategic Reviews and 1st year Dragon mags they were "bound" into a hardcover that basically just pinched the spines together (no damage to the magazines).

Ian, how were your Imagine magazines bound in?

From looking at them, these magazines seem to be bound into the notebook by metal bands that are straddled by the magazine's saddle stitching.

  In other words, they look like they are undamaged.
